Temporary foster for Oscar while Umesh recovers in hospital
A short-term foster for a calm retriever in Durgapur while the owner recovers.
🇮🇳 West Bengal, India1,414 views
I'm going into inpatient treatment on Friday, for about 5 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Oscar, my seven-year-old retriever. Oscar is a bit shy at first but really affectionate.
I'm looking for a temporary foster within Durgapur. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Oscar is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.
I'd love to share regular updates and photos, and I'd love to pay it forward by volunteering at the shelter when I'm better.
Thanks for being kind about this.

hope things get better soon. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Put this on a community board in Durgapur this morning. Thinking of Durgapur
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Quezon City.
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Angeles but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Semarang.
keep going, Umesh. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Greetings from London.
Poor Oscar, hope they feel better soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Umesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Kinondoni
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
Thinking of you, Umesh. Give Oscar a hug from me. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hang in there, Umesh. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Stay strong, Umesh. This could happen to any of us. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Take care, Umesh. Give Oscar a hug from me. Thinking of Durgapur.
Best of luck, Umesh. Shared this with my family. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Warsaw this morning!
